Indoor group yoga or meditation session in a hall with green carpeting, white pillars painted with red and green vine patterns, and hanging chandeliers. Many participants sit in rows, most wearing orange shawls over white, cream, grey or pastel clothing, with some on red plastic chairs. Several people in front stretch or sit upright with hands on hips, and a sound mixing console and cables sit at the lower left. A white-bearded man in an orange shawl appears at the bottom edge. No deity murti or clearly identifiable central figure is visible in this view.
